Comments is the plural of comment.

It might make sense if comment was the predicate but as a singular noun its awkward without an article.

There's awkward and then there's grammatically awkward.

Speaking of which, why are we arguing about grammar and not who's getting cucked by the biggest black pill?

MPs are first and foremost representatives of their constituency (i.e. local area). Their job is to represent the desires and interests of those people.

The government should be working on Brexit, supported by MPs of areas who voted to leave.

MPs of areas that voted remain should be either working against Brexit, or working to have concessions made as part of the Brexit agreement to represent the wishes of their constituency.

As much as it may annoy you across the pond, the MPs representing their specific constituency is a feature not a bug.

Let’s give hypothetical example then if push comes to shove. Lets say an MPs constituency pushes hard for an MP to do something that is illegal on a ‘centralized federal level’, whatever they call it over there, but it’s good for the constituency. Who wins this struggle? The central crown or the constituency? By viewing this example with pressures, you see who really serves who and what has to happen.

This sure doesn't happen when there's close votes on things like LGBT issues.

To the losers on that it becomes 'shut up and deal with it. Stop crying about how bad it's going to be for you, you lost completely, this is progress'.

But somehow the losers here have all sorts of rights to allow them to negotiate and actually get their desired result from the beginning.

Funny how it works out this way.

Yea, it is those pushing for the no deal Brexit that are 'pushing hard for MPs to do something illegal'. Using an advisory referendum to dictate government policy, reneging on the Good Friday Agreement, airy fairy campaign promises (the two worst offenders for having made these are the head of the privy council and the PM: two men in the best positions to implement these unkept promises - but nope)... All of these things are at best of dubious legality.

So your hypothetical situation is what we are seeing now except the situation is flipped and the condom is on the other cock.
